Featured Reviews

Ayobanji Iluyomade - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution is stable and can be used for monitoring and managing events, but it does not provide application or service monitoring features
We are moving from basic monitoring to AIOps, where we can do things like self-healing. We also want to create dashboards for IT and business users to show the status of their services. We have done a couple of demos. I recommend the solution to others. Overall, I rate the product a seven out of ten.
Trevor Watkins - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides firmware compliance and the ability to connect to iPO
I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers. Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It is a very stable product."
"The event management part of TrueSight Operations Management, in my experience, is probably the best in the market. You have endless flexibility. You can build your own rules, you have the MRL language, and you can implement any kind of logic on the alerts. It may be correlation, abstraction, or executing something as a result of the alerts. You have almost the whole range of options available for event management using the available customization."
"Signature baselines, which have allowed us to fine tune many of our events and significantly reduce the number of events generated."
"The ability of this platform to monitor the very diverse assets that we maintain around the world is its most valuable feature... We support a vast array of manufacturers' equipment, like HP, IBM, Cisco, Dell, EMC, Hitachi... We can do it all with [this] one [solution]."
"The most valuable feature of BMC TrueSight Operations Management is the dashboard presentation server."
"Using the TrueSight platform we can monitor server performance and notify the customers using the integrated ticketing for events. We can let them know if there are any issues with a server, or application, or database."
"What I like best about BMC TrueSight Operations Management is that it allows you to do granular monitoring and improves VM load."
"It is very helpful to be able to apply rule-based routing to alerts."
"Comprehensive dashboard, ease of use are key features."
"If you have a lot of devices, like we do, then you have to have one single pane of view, otherwise we lose too much time. So, we needed this type of solution."
"The best part is that you can integrate a two-way network. Earlier we could not manage the storage and ToR switch. Now we can create a LAN with our storage without any interface. In terms of switch management, it is now easy to understand the current configuration. It provides centralized management. It provides a single pane, and you can easily do all updates in one shot. It is a great product."
"Administration-wise it's going to be easier. More smooth and more flexible."
"The hypervisor and cluster profiles make it easy to integrate with VMware."
"The OneView Global Dashboard is very user-friendly and it can be used for monitoring the power consumption and temperature of the data center and racks."
"The remote support automatically logs service calls and support cases with HPE, which is really good."
"Deploys faster new virtual services."
 

Cons

"The dashboard and performance graphs should include a way to automatically schedule and export reports."
"The product must provide more AI capabilities."
"I think the ease of deployment needs to be looked at. It would be great if the deployment was faster and easier."
"The pricing could be better."
"The knowledge modules could be more lightweight in size. At present, the installation packages can be quite large."
"The solution could improve its price."
"The solution is overly complex."
"Application performance management (APM) is an area with certain shortcomings in the solution that needs improvement. I"
"My main complaint is about the blades on the frames, which seem to have a lot of problems. We often have to call HPE for replacements, such as for memory."
"​There was a feature called HPE cloud manager, but now it is owned by Micro Focus. HPE should make a cloud optimizer again."
"HPE OneView should be able to cover more device models apart from ProLiant and Synergy."
"The solution could add storage, integration services, and end-to-end support for Cisco switches or other competitor products."
"The interface is a bit bland. It does its job, but it could have a better interface."
"​Technical support is not very good. The engineers do not know a lot about the product​, even when asked simplistic questions."
"Integration could be improved. Sometimes OneView doesn't identify physical hardware."
"They can improve reporting and provide more customized reports. Currently, reporting is a bit limited. It can be complex to learn and manage for beginners. Because of my experience, I find it comfortable to manage, which might not be the case with beginners. It would be good if they can make it a little bit easier to understand. They can provide a more graphical view of connectivity and other things. Their technical support can also be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Though I have no clue about the tool's actual price, I know that it is astronomical."
"We pay license fees of between $150 and $200 per asset. There is an enterprise software license fee, and then you pay a percentage for your maintenance, and then Premier Support. For example, if you buy a two-year license for the product, then the maintenance fee is added to that for two years at X percent a year. Then there's a small fee on top of that for Premier Support..."
"Other products are more expensive than BMC TrueSight."
"Pricing is very high."
"The only possible additional cost that I can mention, that you might not be aware of, is that it uses Oracle partitioning, if you use Oracle. There are Oracle partitioning fees that go with that."
"Use conservative figures. In terms of hardware, monitored servers and also effort. The product is not cheap. But as with other products, you get what you pay for."
"Consider scalability very carefully: how much you want to monitor and what components are very important. Then, depending on these two things, filter out unwanted metrics or attributes. If you do a good job at filtering the data, then your licensing costs will be manageable."
"The solution is based on endpoints and knowledge models which can be costly."
"The solution is free to use, but if you want the management aspect you require a virtual machine such as C7000 or Synergy which require licenses."
"​I am happy with the price."
"Synergy does not require iLO licenses but servers and enclosures must be purchased."
"HPE could lower the price."
"HPE had some other solutions, but they were actually quite expensive to buy. So, when OneView came along, it was kind of reasonable in terms of price for licenses, etc."
"​Use it. It is free."
"I would rate the cost as six out of ten."
"When it comes to the government, money is never an issue, so it was excellent in terms of the HPE OneView licensing cost. Hitachi was cheaper, but I'd rate HPE OneView cost-wise as eight out of ten."
